"Leo Nakano (son of longtime sushi scion Hirofumi Nakano) is the talent behind this intimate sushi bar, offering classic nigiri and familiar sushi rolls as well as flown-in-fresh Japanese seafood, found on the chalkboard of daily specials. Here, customers might find aoyagi (surf clam, served live), kinmedai (golden eye snapper), or Hokkaido scallops. Don’t miss raijin — a crunchy, deep-fried rice patty topped with spicy tuna, avocado, jalapeño, and garlic chips — and consider Nakano’s off-the-cuff omakase." - Nikki Buchanan, Eater Staff

I’m sorry I don’t know how this place has 4.7 rating, I do not recommend their rolls at all. Very limited menu, and on top of that you pay for ginger? I’m from Washington DC best places to eat sushi, and I compare this place to a grocery place that they serve sushi. Me and my husband went there tonight and we paid $147 with tip. We had two of their combos and two rolls and a one hot saki. With that price I could have an amazing dinner at sanctuary camelback resort.

It was a super friendly place with great service. They put a really fun spin on sushi. Some of the sauces and flavors were so different! Like they had been aged for eons just to make it to the sushi they served. The fish was also exceptional

I cannot recommend this place highly enough to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable sushi dining experience. Every aspect of my visit exceeded any expectation — the service was appropriately attentive and everybody was friendly, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and, the food itself... I have not stopped thinking about my food. I can’t wait to come back.

The best sushi place for all the reasons. Amazing food; very high quality, insane attention to detail, they all really know what they're doing and they have weekly specials that are fantastic. The regular menu is incredible too. Owner is always around. All of the staff are knowledgeable, incredibly friendly and great sense of humor. I went right when they opened once and was the only one there for an hour and just chatted with all of the staff the entire time. Just a very welcoming & warm environment. Can't believe we have this gem in Ahwatukee!

Smaller intimate place, with a few tables and sushi bar. Service was excellent. Food was very good. Had the Toro sashimi, Shrimp Tempura, Las Vegas roll, and all were very good. Will definitely be going back.

Tonight was our first experience at Nakano. This was some of the best sushi I have ever had! The flavors are creative and intriguing. The quality of the fish, especially the Toro and halibut, was exceptional! We were also pleasantly surprised with our bill... this quality of sushi at their price just cannot be beat!! We will be back!!
